Chapter 59: What do you mean I am among your nine tribes?
Chu Lu looked at these prisoners and felt that something was a little strange.
On the one hand, they arrived too quickly. It had only been two days since I set out, and they were already blocking me.
On the other hand, they spoke too simply and sold the Prince Consort without saying a word.
Of course, the most important thing is that the consort can actually raise private soldiers and dare to attack the emperor. This is too nonsense. If nothing else, does the princess have no objection?
Chu Lu tortured and interrogated him just in case, but he didn't get any new clues.
So he hesitated, his intuition telling him that there was a scam ahead and he shouldn't go deeper, but it seemed stupid to turn back halfway.
"Forget it, never mind it." Chu Lu finally made a decision, "It's a dark road. Let's go to the Prince Consort's Mansion to see what's going on, and then we can make a conclusion!"
So he ordered the soldiers to keep these prisoners under strict guard, and the others had a good rest and continued their journey tomorrow, and then went to sleep.
Two days later, news of the failed ambush spread back to the Prince Consort's Mansion.
In a side room, two people were talking.
One of them is the consort Tang Zhiyin. She has a slender figure and wears a moon-white gown.
Standing in front of her was her concubine Jiang Xuening.
"Sure enough, it failed." The Prince Consort said uneasily, "The Emperor is coming tomorrow. What should I do? What should I do?"
"Master, don't be afraid. Have you forgotten Cuihua's instructions?" Jiang Xuening said, "Master, as long as you act according to the plan, the emperor will never dare to touch you."
"Yes! Yes, yes!" The Prince Consort seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, nodding his head again and again: "Cuihua has great magical powers, her method will definitely work!"
"Yes." Jiang Xuening said: "As long as I don't be afraid tomorrow, I will take out the dagger and stab the emperor. In the end, no matter whether it is possible or not, the emperor will be unable to do anything to you!"
The Prince Consort clenched his fists and said as if he was under self-hypnosis: "I will, I will..."
Two days later, Chu Lu arrived in Linyang.
They continued to move forward without stopping, and arrived at the Prince Consort's Mansion amidst the astonished eyes of the common people.
The vermilion door of the Prince Consort's Mansion was closed tightly, and the stone lion in front of the door held its head high and its eyes wide open, as if it wanted to kill all the enemies that came.
Chu Lu directly opened the door and rushed in. Behind the door was a corridor paved with bluestone that led directly to the main hall. After arriving at the main hall, there was a group of people waiting there.
The prince-in-law stepped forward and said with sincerity and fear: "I am very frightened. I didn't know that the emperor was coming, and I missed you from afar. I hope that the emperor will forgive me."
Chu Lu looked at the person in front of him, and Xu Liniang said in his mind that she was the consort Tang Zhiyin.
Chu Lu looked at the rather bookish Prince Consort and had many questions in his mind, but he still asked the most important question first: "Where is Cuihua?"
"Cuihua is not here now, but your Majesty, please don't be impatient. Weichen knows where she went. She went to a very dangerous place, and I can only tell the Emperor that you are the only one." The Prince Consort said as he approached.
"Stop, what's wrong with you?" Chu Lu frowned, "If you have something to say, just say it. What are you talking about? How come you can only tell me?"
The Prince Consort's expression froze and he insisted: "This is very important. I can only tell the Emperor you! Wei Chen did not lie!"
Chu Lu was a little impatient: "Stop talking nonsense. You can either say it directly, or you can say it after I torture you."
A drop of sweat suddenly appeared on the prince's forehead.
She realized she couldn't move on, so she had to bite the bullet and said, "I know."
She reached into her arms and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen will take out the map and point it out to you...see!"
At the end of his words, the Prince Consort gave a loud shout, took out a dagger from his arms, and rushed towards Chu Lu. When Chu Lu saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
Just when he was about to take action, a figure suddenly rushed out from the diagonal stab, rushed towards the knife in the hand of the Prince Consort, and shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful!"
Pfft.
The prince-in-law's knife stabbed into the soldier's body.
The prince-in-law was stunned for a moment, then reacted suddenly, wanting to pull out his knife and cut Chu Lu again.
But Chu Lu reacted faster than her, strode forward, punched the prince-in-law in the face, and knocked her away.
Chu Lu supported the soldier and found that her body was covered with blood and her face was pale. He immediately said: "Arrest everyone in the Prince Consort's Mansion! No one can escape!"
#####
Half an hour later, everything was settled.
The Prince Consort's Mansion was completely brought under control, and the brave soldier was properly treated.
The knife came in a hurry, so it didn't hit the vital point. Although it was inevitable that he would have to lie in bed for several months, at least his life was saved.
This made Chu Lu relax.
Generally speaking, in his dealings with others, he still follows the principle of repaying kindness and repaying hatred.
Although the soldier's action of stepping forward to rescue the driver was a bit redundant, it was ultimately out of loyalty. If he died like this, Chu Lu would feel uncomfortable for a while.
But if there is still one life left, it will be easy to handle. If you get promoted to a higher position, you will give everything you deserve, and your grudges will be settled.
Chu Lu told the doctor to take good care of him, and then went to find the Prince Consort.
When he came to the main hall and saw the prince-in-law being tied up, his face suddenly darkened.
When he first came here, he only wanted to find Cuihua and had no interest in the Prince Consort, but now he has.
"To be honest with you, it is impossible for me to give you a way to live now." Chu Lu held his chin and said: "But it is still death, and a happy death and a painful death are different. You have to cooperate well, and I will let you You’ll die happily, or you’ll have to go through all the tortures first.”
"Hahahahahaha!" However, the prince-in-law actually laughed, "Killing only me is too easy for me, isn't it? I want to murder the emperor in public, so I should kill the nine tribes! Your Majesty, you are full of shit. Is it water?”
The prince consort spoke loudly and with great energy.
Chu Lu looked at her, stunned.
The soldiers present were also stunned.
"I, you, fuck." Chu Lu was suffocated by her momentum. After a while, he calmed down and said slowly: "This is the first time I have heard such a request... Okay, then I will satisfy you. , punish your nine tribes, so that you will not be alone in hell."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. When will you commit suicide, Your Majesty?" the Prince Consort said jokingly.
"ah?"
"Your Majesty, you want to kill my nine clans, but have you forgotten? I am your sister's husband, and you are also among my nine clans! Since I am going to be killed by the nine clans, then you will naturally die too!" The Prince Consort continued: " Or are you planning to go back on your word? But you are not joking, Your Majesty!”
Chu Lu: "..."
